Pastoral Visitation
The new
pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that
someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. He took out a
card, wrote,
“Revelation 3:20” on the back and stuck it in the door.
When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been
returned.
Added to it was this cryptic message,
“Genesis
3:10.”
Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter.
Revelation 3:20 begins,
“Behold, I
stand at the door and knock.”
Genesis 3:10 reads,
“I heard
your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked.”
